🚨 New Publication Alert! 🚨

Check out the new publication from IGDI Lab members
on school achievement and educational aspirations among youth in diverse rural communities in @russellsagefdn #RSFJournal issue on growing up in #rural communities.

[IGDILAB @igdilab]

On average, students from rural schools had slightly lower grades & substantially lower educational aspirations than their peers in urban schools. Latino and American Indian students had lower school grades and educational aspirations than non-Latino and American Indian students.

[IGDILAB @igdilab]

COVID-19 highlighted and deepened educational inequities in the U.S.

Check out IGDI Lab's, @srmcconnell's, 2017 talk on how #IGDIs is helping reduce disparities in education.

How do you bring research into your classrooms?
